I figured out how to vastly improve visuals in Pokémon Legends: Arceus... Just put it on a CRT.

Been playing more Arceus for most of today. This game's loop is so fucking good! That being said, I can imagine trying to perfect every Pokémon's dex page becomes a grindy hell, but thankfully that seems to only needed for shiny hunting.

I've spent all day finally playing Pokémon Legends: Arceus, and this game's got the good game juice all over it. The visuals may be a battle between good art direction and poor optimisation, but that doesn't stop it from working the soundscape to create some incredible atmosphere.

Next video's just under 2 hours long lmao. One of these days I'll try making more short-form stuff, but I just can't help that I have a lot to say about stupid bullshit.

Okay, for now I'm finished with Pokémon Sword, aside from some legendaries and some DLC Pokédex mons. Without the DLC i'd say it's fine (derogatory). The plot structure feels rushed, many elements feel missing, and the route/wild area design is bland as all hell. But...

everybody skate

Going back and playing Pokémon Sword, instead of just watching a friend play it, has convinced me that I was too harsh on it. It's so good when it leans into its strengths, and the DLC is entirely on its strengths. But you can't really do the good stuff until late/post-game, which holds it back sm.

If you're curious about the Virtual Boy after that Nintendo Direct, I did a section it during my failed consoles video. It's a weird, but important, part of Nintendo's history, and I'm glad it's not just being swept under the rug. youtu.be/ANYpHG4c4vA

Oh god I'm gonna have to buy the Donkey Kong DLC

I AM FUCKING VINDICATED

Ice Climbers 2 baby! Here we go!

Top-tier Kalos Pokemon finally getting some respect put on their name. Memes aside, I always defended Malamar and used it in my first X playthrough way back in 2013. Peak design. Peak gimmick with the upside-down/contrary stuff. It's just peak.

A Nintendo Direct without thousands of people screaming about Silksong in chat just won't be the same.

Honey, we have guests! Bring out the fine china!

Expect new video out next week. It's going to be a smaller one than my prior two, whilst I work on another larger project that I'm hoping will be out by mid October.

Silksong's first boss is tricky as hell

Silksong releases in a little under 10 minutes, so I just want to say goodbye to all my friends who are gonna disappear for the next few weeks. I can't play it for a while. I'm gonna be far too busy for the next few months to play, but I'm happy for my friends who have been there from the start.

Gonna start editing another video tomorrow, with the script for the video after just being polished up now. The first of these will be much shorter than my prior videos, with the one after being another deep dive.

I might be almost 6 years late, but I finally made it

silksong honestly should cost 40 bucks and i'm not even joking i won't go so far as to say it's bad it doesn't, but! it will have Effects, and not all of those effects are Good

The current game console situation sucks. Few first-party games, prices keep increasing, and the console manufacturers hate you. Turns out that's been the case for a while: youtu.be/ANYpHG4c4vA

Finished replaying Pokémon X yesterday for the first time since it first came out and I have MANY thoughts about it

Yeah that Thunderbolts* movie is pretty darn good

Don't forget to listen to me shove my hyper-fixations down your throat! It's what the Virtual Boy deserves 💖 youtu.be/ANYpHG4c4vA

Genuinely happy that the 7 year long development time was spent working at a leisurely pace, spending time with their families and flexing their creative muscles - with no pressure to expand their company, deliver sooner or read a single reddit post. Smartest people in our entire industry.

BREAKING: Silksong will be out on September 4. Two weeks from today. Really. Often, games that take 7+ years to make are plagued by mismanagement and painful burnout. But for Silksong? Team Cherry was having a blast. They still are. This is their story: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Big man 💖

NEW: During an interview at the Xbox booth on the Gamescom show floor, I attempted to ask a veteran Obsidian developer for their thoughts on making video games at Microsoft amid layoffs and widespread criticism over the company's links to Israel. I was immediately shut down.

Oh yeah VtM: Bloodlines 2 finally got a release date. I want it to be good, especially after how good the first game was (when you finally got it working), but with how messy it's development has been I'm cautious.

Oh the Black Myth Wukong team! *immediately closes the stream*

Microsoft don't get to poke fun at capitalism with Outer Worlds 2. Not after all the layoffs, replacing their workers with AI, and using their tech to aid in genocide.

What were the "many changes" that ZA/UM underwent Geoff?

Highlight of Gamescom Opening Night so far

Sakurai is a madman, and he must keep getting away with it. Kirby Air Riders looks absurdly good.

Really hoping this means we're getting fewer generational gimmicks from now on. It felt like they were struggling for ideas at Dynamax, and none have been anywhere near as interesting as Mega-Evolution anyway. I'm open to new ones in the future. I just don't think we need them every gen.

My new video's finally out! Listening to me ramble about failed consoles like some sort of maniac! I promise they're cool! youtu.be/ANYpHG4c4vA

Nothing hits quite like seeing movies with matte painting backgrounds

Update on this: I got my friend to watch it, and I think it's become his new autistic hyperfixation

About to watch the new War of the Worlds because I just love garbage.

Microsoft has been running the most transparent pump and dump dev woodchipper on the game industry for 20 years now and no one in the industry dare criticize them because it's either get scammed by Xbox or dare to work with non American companies
